When Yan Yan came out of his house, Deng Jiang was talking to a few apprentices in the courtyard.

The second uncle of the Deng family is old, he is only responsible for cooking, and he is no longer in charge of things, and the eldest son Deng Jiang naturally took over the burden of his father.

In the past, in the village, Deng Jiang was in charge of arranging banquets, and he had a steady personality and practical behavior, which was quite appreciated by Bi Cheng.

These days to polish the craft, Bi Cheng is also the most attentive to Deng Jiang's guidance.

This time when he came to Haofu, Bi Cheng ordered Deng Jiang to be the assistant chef.

Bi Cheng went to see Boss Hao, and Deng Jiang took advantage of this free time to tell everyone about the rules that need to be paid attention to.

There was nothing to do here, so she wandered outside, familiarized herself with the big kitchen first, and then went forward.

The location of the back kitchen is located in the atrium of the entire mansion, not far from the main hall of the hospitality. Probably for the convenience of serving, there is only a small flower-wearing corridor between the main hall and the back kitchen.

Such a courtyard layout, firstly, the serving distance is close, the meals are not easy to be cold, and secondly, the kitchen fumes can be blocked by the green tree flower garden, so the layout can be taken into account, clever and cheap.

Yan Yan walked all the way along the corridor to the direction of the main hall, although it was cold in winter, but it was full of spring.

It is worthy of the mansion of a rich family, this season, just waiting for this garden full of spring is enough for a group of people to be tired and break their waists.

At the end of the corridor, there is a small rockery built with Taihu Lake stone, bypassing the rockery, the big bluestone courtyard with light like a mirror suddenly opens up. In the middle of the courtyard is the living room of the mansion.

During this period, there were relatives of the Hao Mansion who came in advance, and the old friends and new friends of the Hao boss in the business field......

Yan Yan Yin leaned out behind the rockery and saw three big characters on the golden plaque on the lintel of the main hall at a glance: Money Hall

Hey, it's really rich!

As the owner, Boss Hao is not allowed to be idle, and the person who greets and sends him off here is the big housekeeper of Hao's house, Hao Huai'an.

Yan Yan listened to the exquisite words of the big butler with his ears, and felt bored, and was about to turn to look elsewhere, when he saw a team of people led in by the little boy who led the way outside the three gates.

The leader was a short and fat man, with a dark face, a coat of fur, and a pair of animal skin boots on his feet, and a strange-shaped belt tied around his waist, and a breath of wind and dust all over his body.

Humpty Dumpty was followed by more than a dozen tall and sturdy men, leggings and wrist guards, and pure animal skin breeches, all of which looked like dusty servants.

The group looked like they had just arrived on a long journey.

Yan Yan carefully glanced at Humpty Dumpty's belt.

She was more interested in the black-gray material with a metallic sheen.

Hao Huai'an greeted the previous guests, still with a teasing face, and when he saw Humpty Dumpty coming in, he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and gave it up.

"Oh, it's the fifth master, you can come back! The owner mentioned you the day before yesterday. You have worked this trip. Hurry up in the west hall, please, there is a good Mingquan tea in it, and there are fresh meatloaf fruits......"

As soon as he heard about "this business", Yan Yan knew that it was the caravan of Haofu who had returned.

In the realm of mountains and seas, trade between major cities is the caravan, and the main mode of freight circulation is caravans.

Business is the most common means of business in the world, and it is also an important way to communicate with the outside world, between cities, and even between countries.

The caravans here are not just for buying and selling.

In addition to selling the goods they carried, the caravan also did business such as escorting goods, carrying travelers, and sending valuables along the way. In fact, it includes all long-distance transactions such as dart boards, passenger travel, express delivery, etc.

To put it bluntly, all the business that needs to be walked on the road, the caravan does it all.

Therefore, in addition to the high cost of carriages and horses, all merchants also need to pay a high price to hire capable people as caravan leaders, as well as dart masters who specialize in protecting caravans.

The caravan is an absolute big deal.

Ordinary merchants can't even support a caravan, let alone a dozen caravans at the same time, like Haofu.

Outside the mansion, there are several businesses occupying several businesses, but in fact, the caravan is the real main business of the mansion.

It is also for this reason that the people of the Haofu Mansion, including the owner Haoma, have special respect and courtesy to the people of the caravan, especially several caravan leaders.

Yan Yan also followed the caravan on the way to Luwu City, but compared to the small caravan she was on, the men and horses under this fifth master were obviously much better-equipped.

The fifth master was not interested in the good tea in the west hall, so he stood in the courtyard and talked to Hao Huai'an: "The tenth day of the first month of winter has passed, has the uncle come back?"

Hao Huaian replied with a smile: "Uncle hasn't come back yet." Five days ago, I sent someone to send back the letter, and the caravan received an order of expensive goods on the way, and the uncle needed to work hard in person. It's about two days late, and it's about a few days away. ”

"Expensive?hehe!"

The fifth master snorted coldly in his nose: "Isn't it just a bottle of Yi Yan Dan, when will even Yi Yan Dan become a precious commodity?

As soon as the fifth master's words came out, Yan Yan, who was hiding behind the rockery, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

She wasn't interested in the Xuanhe Dan in the back, but she was a little curious about the "Yi Yan Dan" in the front.

I don't know if the effect of this elixir is literal.

If she can really change her face, she also wants to get a bottle to try.

This look...... Yan Yan raised his hand and touched his face......

It's hard to put it into words!

In her current situation, it's really not a good thing that her appearance is too recognizable, and it is not as convenient as acting with Baiya's face before.

The big housekeeper always had a deferential smile, but he didn't answer the words of the fifth master.

The two of them were talking, and there was another commotion on the three gates outside, and after a while, the steward of the three gates personally brought in three people.

The grand housekeeper who was originally talking to the fifth master looked up and saw the person coming, his expression was immediately solemn, and he walked forward quickly with a long robe and greeted him in person.

"Oh, it's uncle, uncle is back! When did you enter the city? Why don't you send someone to send a letter back, I will personally go out of the city to meet you......"

As soon as Yan Yan heard Hao Huai'an's extremely cautious, humble and submissive words and gestures, he knew that this identity was not ordinary, at least a cut higher than the status of the fifth master.

Yan Yan leaned out again, only to see the appearance of the person who came in.

The man is in his early thirties at most, tall and tall, about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a bee waist, and his posture is as strong as a pine, standing there, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

A face with clear water chestnuts, two sword eyebrows flying obliquely into the sideburns, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, with a bit of the unruly temperament of a man in the Western Regions.

The thin lips are slightly pur, and the lip shape is slightly pressed, which makes the original three-dimensional and profound facial features show a bit of impersonal cold arrogance, and the nasolabial folds are deep......

Yan Yan could see that this man had been in a high position for a long time and was used to giving orders.

Although this person is outstanding, such a man is usually resolute and affectionate, and if he is very capable, he is easy to be stubborn.

In short, he is a master who does not obey discipline.
